Alpinestars Techair 7x Review fitting it in the suit and riding with it

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Well done with explaining the details of the install; I just got my 7 two days ago. 👍🏼

@@hectorallanrivera9334 glad to hear bud!! Happy to help!

[@4strokehearts]

Hey bud! Yeah I crashed training with Supermoto, and it deployed, highside. It worked like a charm. I actually didn’t realize it deployed until I was up and trying to get the bike up. The suit stretched perfectly. Again I didn’t realize I was inflated for a while. Kept riding the rest of the day, bought a replacement canister and back to business

[@twistychaserNJ]

Thank you for that info. Glad you were alright for the high side. I just ordered one this morning.

Great video. Thinking of getting the 7 and was curious about integration in a suit…challenge I always had with stand alone back protectors is once the suit was on, I’d need a buddy to push the thing down cause it would want to slide up. Sounds like the zipper and Velcros system keeps things in place well!

[@4strokehearts]

@@BigFoofies Oh yeah that’s a thing of the past. This integrated is awesome, also no need for back protector of course

Its that Adams kart track? I could wear a tee shirt and flip flops and be fine there! Just kidding! Lots of good kart memories there.

[@4strokehearts]

Apex! Hopefully we’ll see ya back out soon

Thanks for the video. I’m about your size, weight and height. What size is your suit? I’m going to get the large airbag but going to need to order new suit and street jacket. Thanks

[@4strokehearts]

I’m wearing a 56, I’m 5 7 190 lbs. I went with a little bit bigger on size for comfort, don’t like the tight tight suits. But when I fit this in it fits great, as well as when it popped I didn’t gasp for air. Also the length of the legs and arms fits perfect

Do you run it in race or street mode at the go kart track ?

Thanks for your review. I have a TechAir Race with a Leathersuit with Status-LEDs like yours has. My question is: If I update to a TechAir 7x, can I connect it to the jacket and use the status LEDs? Thanks for your help =)

[@4strokehearts]

Yes! It works just like the original one. Zips in and it has a little slot at the top for the cable to go right through and plug in to the suit. They nailed that one!

[@NastroArzurro]

@@4strokehearts Thanks a lot !

[@twistychaserNJ]

Great review, I’m glad I saw your video. I have a hypermotard and was concerned about the tail bone protector. Seems like you don’t have any issues. Have any of your airbag vest ever deployed in your suit? Curious if you had any issues as your race suit looks tight with the air bag vest on.

[@4strokehearts]

@@twistychaserNJ awesome!!

[@RawTechnology-oe8co]

do you need to remove the liner to install it in the suit?

[@4strokehearts]

Not at all it works right away

[@seanclifton84]

Looking at getting one and sizing is different. What are your measurements?

I have a tech air race airbag for the last 3.5 years. What's the point of upgrading it? Today, I measured tech air 7x, and it fills lighter than tech air race. What you can tell about tech 10 ?What is the inconvenience? Im 5'7 165lb, 48 - 50 euro size, and L size for me is too big. I think i need M size.

[@4strokehearts]

@@ZverevDL I never tried the race, but I owned the 10. They’re all great pieces of equipment, but the 10 is good for when you are actually racing one race and then getting off the Suit for Track Days, the 10 it’s a big inconvenience to try to take it on and off. The five is a happy medium, where you can attach it to the suit and not have to deal with removing some undergarment. It’s also much much lighter than the tech air five and the original take air

[@fredturatti]

Hello, friend. Thank you for the video. I'm going to buy this. Can I ask your chest size? Thank you.
